This agromyzid was collected at light in De Kaaistoep (The Netherlands, Tilburg) on October 10th 2011. I wonder if it's possible to identify this specimen with help of the picture oif the genitalia!?

The antennae appear to belong to Cerodontha (Cerodontha) (Greek for "horn tooth"). I have no idea what to make of that tangled mass of thin tubes.

Thanks John.

I indeed think it's a Cerodontha \ species and more specifically C. denticornis.
I hope someone can confirm (or correct me).

OK, Cerodontha (Cerodontha) denticornis (Panzer, 1806).
